EK A380 DXB-SYD diverting to PER
 

The late running EK412 enroute DXB-SYD is diverting to PER.
ETA 06:45LT.

Not sure of the reason why.

The Airport Arrivals site says it's now due @ 11.15am

I used to have a car once that was as unreliable as an Airbus. I sold it. :D

(Before I get a flaming, it's a joke. I know it may be a medical or other reason)

That was the 'original' delayed arrival time. It left DXB very late at 16:15 so perhaps the diversion is an operational reason.

Currently the Sydney Airport website says that EK412 to AKL is cancelled, but with a departure time of 1:00pm, which is true?

EK website displays SYD-AKL cancelled.

AKL arrivals displays cancelled

Thanks for checking, any ideas if it will just leave as 413 normally later tonight?

Edit: looks like she's coming in at 14:20, well; I know where I'll be this arvo.
Or not, the EK website now says 14:20 scheduled, 20:30 estimated. That's a shame.

Just looked at the EK website ... the scheduled arrival time in SYD is 1420 but the estimated next to it shows as 2030 :confused:

Edit - beatme to it Bernie! .. Just called my brother in Perth to get out and have a look - EK 380 in Perth - priceless!

The way I see it is; it's landed in PER- so they can start doing whatever needs to be done. I'll be crossing my fingers and obsessively checking the EK website all day to see when it takes off. I'd love to get a beach arrival of an EK 380.

Yeah, but every "market leader" can have a LEMON!

BUT, having said that, on A.net, there is a thread about EK reliability about their A380's, I wonder if this is any coincedence...??? :confused:

Any idea on rego?
